And Michelle Williams finally gets invited!

The 2009 invitees are:

Quote:

Michael Cera – Juno, Superbad
Viola Davis – Doubt, State of Play
James Franco – Milk, Spider-Man

I noticed a lot of Team Apatow (Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jane Lynch, James Franco, Michael Cera... for sure they'll vote in Funny People).

Also, Eddie Marsan and Emily Blunt!

Clint Mansell gets in too among the composers (along with Peter Gabriel), which is cool.

But he should have been. Even moreso than Hawkins (who, of course, was very good too).

that's promising for Funny People's Oscar chances. If the movie's as good as they say, a Screenplay nod at the very least is happening.

What effect could that possibly have on Funny People's oscar chances? I'm really asking. Other than three extra votes.

If the use the same ballot system, a film only needs 600 #1s to be nominated. So I guess for Funny People, 597.

So a big help then!

well, apparently the age of 2009's class skews young. So yeah, in that regard the chances of a comedy/Apatow film getting in is increased as well. But only by a small percentage.

You still have the overwhelming amount of old people that will block vote for Bright Star. John Keats! YES! Adam Sandler? NO THANK YOU!

Amy Ryan, Viola Davis and Michelle Williams should have gotten an AMPAS membership the instant they were nominated.

Nomination should be enough for a membership.

doesn't the idea that the Academy invited all of them show that they have at least taken a liking to Apatow's people?

Regardless, my prediction for it to get in lies more in its early reviews and the doubling of the BP category, but this only helps.
